In A Silent Place
In A Silent Place
by Eric Roberts
Many musicians and composers play and create because its their job. Eric Roberts, on the other hand, does it from his heart. In his soothing debut album, In a Silent Place , we are treated to 56 minutes on 13 tracks of purely delightful, heartfelt music. Here is music that is, all at once, soft, clean, relaxing and uplifting.
Technically, Mr. Roberts' mastery of the guitar and bass is as good as it gets. Imagine, no clicks, no skids and no screech. As a matter of fact, don't imagine, listen for yourself. You will hear delightful, creative songs that are a journey to peace. When I listened, I thought of puffy clouds drifting across the sky, and lake water lapping on the shore. Each of the tracks (some played with noted cellist David Darling) will make you think of a cabin on a hillside overlooking a beautiful valley, with a fireplace and good book, feet up in a comfortable easy chair.
When you are trying to find yourself...when the clatter of daily life gets to be too much, you can drift to a place of well-being and peace. That's what In a Silent Place did for this reviewer. Here is music that smiles, perhaps the kind of music we'd expect to hear in heaven. Eric Roberts has given us an aural means to find peace!
